 The collector of customs at Key West, Fla, has reported to the treasury depart ment that printed cigar and cigarette labels are being imported at that port with the evident intention of deceiving the trade by placing them on boxes of domestic cigars and cigarettes, and thereby impresslng the purchaser with the idea that the goods so labeled are genuine smnggled goods. He asked if it is not his duty to destroy them. Assistant Secretary Maynard has informed him i'll reply that there does not appear to be any authority for the course suggested, and says further that such de- struction does not seem to be demanded in the interests of the revenue, since simi- lar labels produced in the United States may just as we'll be used for the purpose stated.

The communication from Rome which was transmitted to Dr. McGlynn nearly forty days ago was not merely summons to appear at Rome, but was in fact . papal bull of fexcOmmEnication of pr. MCGlynn if he did not appear or make application for hearing at Rome within forty days.
 As no such application has been made, and as the doctor is still here, he stands accommodated by his own act. No further action of the pope unnecessary. The effect for an application for hearing in such case is stay of the bull of ex- communication, but without such applica- tion the bull becomes perfect and complete.

Gen. Butler, having been charged with selling rebel church bells in New England, writes to the New York Sun that when he took command at New Orleans he found one of the public squares full of church bells whose owners had contributed them to the rebel cause to be melted up into cannon Under the circumstances he de- cided they were contraband and sent them north-as ballast for the government trans ports The only one spared was the bell of St. Patrick's cathedral which had not been lowered to the ground, and stood on the bell deck. As the delivery was not complete for purposes of war, he allowed this bell to be rehanged. These bells were sold by auction at Boston and were bought by various parties.

The Star-y Teller Of Tangier.

OF course the concourse of people at
tracts the professional amuser, as it would
with us. and the people crowd around the
snake charmers and conjurers and espe-
cially about the story tellers. The story
teller, as he walks up and down a good
deal and gesticulates much and violently,
needs room, so the crowd groups itself on
the side of the hill, making a natural
theater, in concentric curves, of sqaatting
figures. / have never seen such attention
as one of these story tellers was given.
His audience hung on his words When
he suggested a pleasing scene, the white
teeth of the listeners all flashed out to-
gether; when he narrowed their feelings,
there was universal scowling and muir
muir; and when finally he made joke,
there was a spontaneous and delighted
roar of laughter. Sometimes he would
relapse into rude, at least rude sounding
verse, when he would beat a tambourine,
which served the double purpose of mark
ing the rhythm of the chant and attract
ing new hearers. The elimination of the
sport is ON the birthday itself. Then
thousands of people gather at the Soho or
market place. This Is an open space Of

The Zoroastrian Religion.

just here comes in the correction of a
certain error that has often been made
with regard to the Zoroastrian religion,
that is treating it as a dualistic religion.
Nothing was further from Zoroaster's
mind than to assume anything but. one
supreme being. one and indivisible. But
that everlasting problem of all thinking
minds, viz, the origin of evil and its in
compatibility with Gods goodness, holi-
ness and justice, he attempted to solve
by assuming two primeval causes which,
though different, were united, and pro-
duced the world of the material things
as well as that of the spirit. The one
who produced the reality is called Vohn
Mano, the good mind; the other, through
whom the non-reahty originated, is the
Akem Mano. the naught mind. To the
first belong all good, true and perfect
things; to the second all that is delIsive.
bad, wicked. These two aboriginal
moving causes of the universe are called
twins. They are spread everywhere, in
God as in men. 1t is only in later writ
ings that these two are supposed to be
opposed to each other, not within Ahura-
mazda. but witbout-to stand, in fact, in
the relation of God and devil to each
other.-Boston Herald.

A New Craze In Bric-a-Brae.

Imagine perfect sphere of glass with
the polish of the diamond, perfectly de-
void of tint, so pellucid that one can look
into its very depths without catching the
slightest ray of color; in fact, it is a
gigantic dewdrop, clear and wonderful in
its absence of color, presenting, as have
said, an astonishing contrast to glass,
which is well to remember, as such bogus
balls are often offered for sale, but can be
told Immediately by comparing them
with glass. Rock crystal balls will not
be collected like stamps, birds eggs or
coins. n ball one inch in diameter
brings 81, two inches s., three inches in
diameter SIS to $35, four inches $40 to
to $15, five inches 1925 to $3.50, six
inches from 5000 to 81, 200, and from
here they jump to astonishing prices, so
that one can be as select in crystal balls
as with diamonds.
The majority comes from Madagascar
and Brazil, while the best known locali-
ties in Europe are Fredeberg, Salzberg,

Limited supplies come from Ceylon, and
some has been found in this state, though
not in large quantities. In the vicinity

found, and some years ago n peasant
